when you ask the majority of blog owners their biggest problem in blogging. It all comes down to getting traffic, getting more traffic and getting targeted traffic to their blog.
The mistake many bloggers make is seeing traffic as an avalanche of an army of online ghost flooding our site and commenting on their blog post.
But come to think of it, Traffic is simply people who visit or site period. People with real feelings with eyes, nose, mouth and ears and hands. So how do you get more of these people to visit your site
Go offline
Often, people imagine bloggers as people who sit behind a computer screen all day posting stuff. That is not naturally what blogging is all about. It is about you advertising your skills.
Linda Ikeji won't is lucky today if she stayed all day on her computer screen. Instead she Network with companies and brands and they now run adverts on her site.
Here are some takeaways to getting traffic offline
Treat your blog like a real business Print a business card;
Do you have a business card for your blog, then you're missing a lot, a business card doesn't have to be fancy or expensive. All you need to do is put some details (your blog name, description and what you do, and your blog link)
For instance; if you run a fashion blog. you could print a card with your website name and logo on it, then give people a reason to visit your website from seeing your card
start from the inside;
everyone living in the planet earth has friends, families, relatives... Often times, we want to get strangers to visit our site. but we don't look at our friends and families. chances are majority of them are somewhat interested in what we're blogging about or have other friends who might be interested. Can you tell your friends and family openly about your blog and make them visit your site?, if you cant then how can you conceive others to visit your site.
Try to talk to your mother, father, girlfriend, boyfriends, sister, brother, wife, any one related to us to visit your site and start getting more traffic instantly.
Expand outside; obviously we all have a place of gathering we visit all the time, like church, mosque, school. talk to people in this gathering about your site. you can even share your business cards to people. or print an handout to give to people.
Meet the real deal; no matter what your blog is about there are offline companies you can go to and form a relationship with them. you can make a deal with them to promote them for free on your blog for more exposure, if they become associate with your blog. Every reasonable company will accept it. Who doesn't want free exposure. this is one of the secret that attracted big brands to Linda Ikejis blog. She didn't sit and home and hope that one day her blog will grow so big that companies will come knocking at her door. IN other words, she reached out to them.
